Walking Dead actor Xander Berkeley to star in impactful movie No Address
By Renee Hansen
Actor Xander Berkeley will always be remembered as Gregory, the leader of Hilltop on The Walking Dead series. He is well known for many memorable roles throughout his lengthy career, and now Berkeley is part of something massive. A new film called No Address which will look at homelessness through a brand new lens.
Based on a true story, No Address follows a group of homeless people and their lives living on the streets. They come against a harassing gang and unforgiving community and local authorities. The film will feature the bleak lives of those who find themselves without a home but also shed light on what can happen when people extend love and hope to those who need it most.
No Address is written by James J. Papa and the founder of Rough Diamond Productions, Julia Verdin, who also directs and produces the film, which Rogert Craig Films produced.
In addition to Berkeley, the film stars Willam Baldwin, Beverly D’Angelo, Ashanit, Lucas Jade Zumann, Ty Pennington, Patricia Valasquez, Isabella Ferreira, and Kristanna Loken.

Berkely will star in the film and use his talents as a professional artist; he will paint portraits of the stars in the movie. The paintings will be auctioned off at his website, with 100% of the profits going towards nonprofits caring for the homeless. Berkely had this to say about his involvement with the film.
"I was inspired to be a part of this film because for so long I have wanted to find a way to help. I lived in Los Angeles for many years, and felt compelled to bring food to people I saw who looked hungry and alone. Just by sitting and spending a little time talking and mostly listening, you could see how much people everywhere just need to be heard and felt and cared about."
No Address will release in the winter of 2023. Go to the No Address site to learn more about this film, the creators, the cast, and other information about homelessness.
The film producers have partnered with author Ken Abraham to write the book No Address which will chronicle the homeless crisis in America. The hope is that the movie and the book will spark people into action to help reduce homelessness in their communities.
